p.8 #1USSR made lens image thread(Helios, Jupiter...)
Hey Jim, I bought mine from 'St. Petersburg Deals', and was fairly happy with the deal, other than the fact that they claimed it was manufactured in 1950, and yet sent the original warranty card that said 1968. But for a $35 lens it was a very small detail... HTH.

Wow. 58/2 jumped from ~$25 on EBay to $50.
If other Alts doubled over 3-6 months, this would quickly become a sketching forum.

+1, I have wanted one for a while but the prices have gone through the roof.

Video d00ds for sure, I'm sure the EVIL/Mirrorless d00ds haven't helped either.

FYI I haven't seen this url here. Zenit's own website showing by symbol which factory makes which lens.
Great thread which is getting me interested in these lenses.

Yes, I did it on purpose to made it cooler/blue cast by playing the WB on PP. The original color is not interesting (shot on cloudy evening)

GIve me a break---look at this thread. It's helios helios helios helios. Gorgeous shots. This is now one of the most famous portrait lenses on the planet and certainly the most coveted russian lens by a country mile.
Compared to the jupiters, not many were made. And you guys are surpirsed a decent copy costs 6-700 bucks?
You've been advertising it for years non-stop. But its those video guys or the evil dudes who are at fault for prices?
How do you think they know about it?
and I'm sure if you had to sell yours you would just ask what you paid for it, right?
